Charles was responsive, accommodating and thoughtful!
Was a pleasure to work with Charles who was very efficient and responded quickly and in detail to my inquiries. Being from the US and our first trip to Kenya, he patiently answered all my queries and assisted us in putting together our week long trip to Aberdare National Park, Solio conservancy, Nairobi and Amboseli. His guide cum driver Alvin was an absolute gem! Met us at the hotel on time, drove us everywhere for the next 8 days, was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Charles himself joined us on a part of our tour and between them gave us a comprehensive, entertaining and spectacular view of this amazing country and its people. The Safari jeep was clean and well maintained and this team was resourceful and networked with others to make sure we had unforgettable experiences. From private ranger-accompanied hikes to several waterfalls in Aberdare, beautiful sightings of Mt. Kenya, (while we don’t do a hike to Mt Kenya, it is one of Charle’s specialties) amazing wildlife sightings and learning in Solio conservancy with it’s unbelievable numbers of Rhino, to the elephant families of Amboseli and just to many types of antelopes, hyenas, jackals and more to list! Add to that a memorable night safari! He provided me with references, certifications, adjusting to my budget, and importantly, prompt payment receipts that eased my worry in wiring deposit money to someone I had no previous personal connection with. Thank you Charles, it’s my pleasure to highly recommend you.

Tilman Safaris with the best team & service.
We can highly recommend Tilman Safaris. The team is great, we had an amazing time hiking up to the Point Lenana summit of Mount Kenya.
We were a bit scared of the altitude sickness, that’s why we decided for the 5 days tour which was a good decision, also to acclimate ourselves to the altitude. Of course we felt some symptoms like headache or stomach issues, but we did it!!! Hiking up to the summit was very exhausting, really hard and it shouldn’t be underestimated, but to reach the top was an amazing feeling. It only took us 500 breaks in between :P
And the Tilman Safaris team was helping us a lot with reaching the top: We felt so welcome by Charles who was perfect in communication & organizing everything for us. Anthony & Leonard as our guides who did an amazing job guiding us to the summit. George cooked so good food for us and the porters were carrying so much on their backs to bring everything to the next camps. They were amazing!!!! We‘ll never forget Alfred who was the master in racing to the next camps.
The whole team provided us with the best service and solved all of our problems that we had. As an example: After one hike we were so wet due to the rain and the whole team was doing a fire for us in the evening to dry all of our wet clothes.

Well organised, excellent service and above all a very informative driver
Our Safari experience was absolutely unforgettable. Everything was organised with care and attention. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife.
We were lucky enough to see four out of the big five along with other countless animals in their natural habitats. The driver was respectful toward the environment and animals. Overall the Safari was the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation and discovery. We highly recommend Tilman Safari.

Organized and well coordinated support
It was the hardest and longest hike for me (Mt Kenya Lenana). However, a team of Tilman Safaris including a professional and calm guide (Anthony), fantastic cook (lot of vegetables and warm meals when most needed), kind porters made the hike as comfortable and assuring possible. Through the booking, all the questions and concerns were answered promptly. It was a fantastic experience! Highly recommended.

Good organzation, smart and entertaining guides
We had an excellent time in Kenya due to the great planning of Charles and his excellent team. Hiking Mount Kenya felt quite easy with great company of the guides, especially Anthony and Lennard, great food and good adventures. Absolutely nothing to complain. The safari in Samburu was a highlight for us, not only because we were lucky to see all the big cats, but our guide Samy was able to teach us so much about the nature and the country itself.
We can only recommend going with Tilman Safari.

Tilmal Safaris is a fantastic tour company that offers exciting and memorable experiences.
Had an amazing adventure with Tilman Safaris! They took us on an exhilarating hike up Mt. Kenya, which was an absolute blast. The scenic views and thrilling experience made it truly unforgettable.
Next, we headed to Samburu National Park, where we were treated to breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife sightings. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience even more enjoyable.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an adventure-packed experience. Their expertise and commitment to delivering exceptional tours are truly commendable. Can't wait for my next adventure with them!
